This international award winning Lodge is ultra luxurious, yet simple and uncluttered. It is about overriding exclusivity with complete privacy, where each suite is operated as a private villa.
Neither word nor photograph can capture the sense of the pure beauty which is breathed in when opening the carved wooden doors leading into this private recluse – arguably the world’s finest suite.
Awarded third best hotel in the world by Tatler Magazine in 2006 and included in their “101 Best Hotels in the World” 2006 & 2007 listings.
The public areas at the lodge offers guests a private bar with fireplace, a library lounge, well-stocked wine cellar, wooden viewing decks, a magnificent River Island Deck built on the river, Health spa and gymnasium, curio shop and both an indoor and open-air (boma) dining area.
Lodge Bedrooms:
The lodge comprises six generously sized privately situated villas, each with a separate living room, heated swimming pool and an open-plan en-suite bathroom with an enclosure for the outdoor shower – 6-star luxury in the middle of the bush.
The colour scheme of ebony and ivory is interpreted in a modern style, while selected African accessories blend the old world with the new to create Afro-Euro chic. Breathtaking views of the Sabie River, which has flowing water all year round, can be viewed through the oversized windows of your villa or from your private viewing terrace. Baby elephants bathing in the river, zebra, gnu and the large Nile crocodile are the only neighbours you shall see.
